P: Free Transform/Distort tool inconsistency

I have the same bug (along with many others). I finally had to return to cc2018. The update is just not worth the headache and added time it takes to get a project completed

For years I have been able to draw a rectangle, convert it to a smart object, then use Transform Distort and drag the corners smoothly to the precise place I need them. After updating to the 2019 Photoshop, I go through the same process of creating a smart object from a rectangle, but when I try to use Transform Distort and move the corners, they jump around like they are snapping to something and I can never get them even close to the place I need them—even though snapping is turned off.

However, the Transform Distort works smoothly as expected to the rectangle BEFORE I convert it to a smart object. But AFTER it is a smart object, it doesn't work correctly.

Oh My God i regret joining endless crap in my emails now

That, or Chris Cox is trying to make me go (more) insane.

I refered to that sentence. I have no idea what happened in past between you 😉

"What did you say he didn't like last time?"

What do you mean, Kukurykus? Are you referring to something I said in another thread somewhere? If so - not quite sure.

No wonder this place went to the dogs.

Chris Cox is not active from years? What did you say he didn't like last time?

Jaro may be correct. Using color emojis might cause a bug in this forum.
